A striking pattern has emerged in Carlos Prates' recent victories, as he has knocked out fighters with previously unblemished knockout-loss records. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights before facing Prates. Li Jingliang had never suffered a knockout loss in 27 fights prior to meeting the Brazilian. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out in standup fighting before Prates, with his only prior TKO loss coming via ground-and-pound when he was exhausted. This demonstrates Prates' exceptional finishing ability against durable opponents. The pattern highlights the danger Prates presents even to fighters known for their chin and durability.
